[00:02.75]
[00:36.10] Let the record show
[00:37.76]
[00:38.91] It's 1964 in the city of New York
[00:43.64]
[00:47.57] Take the train to Queens
[00:49.79]
[00:50.41] Meet a Jewish family
[00:52.22]
[00:53.21] He's the youngest one of three
[00:55.11]
[00:58.97] His brothers have left home
[01:00.76]
[01:02.06] He's on the same road
[01:03.88]
[01:04.62] Just credits shy of a diploma
[01:08.16]
[01:10.39] But he wants to represent
[01:12.28]
[01:13.43] The struggling-with-rent
[01:14.57]
[01:16.30] But he can't live on both sides of the fence
[01:19.79]
[01:21.03] So he continues to insist that he's no champagne socialist
[01:26.39]
[01:50.70] He's not coming back
[01:53.53] After studying the facts
[01:55.48]
[01:56.44] He knows of all the problems of the past
[02:00.31]
[02:02.09] But he's quick to concede
[02:04.11]
[02:04.95] That in order to proceed
[02:06.65]
[02:08.03] We can't just keep on preaching what we need
[02:11.34]
[02:13.54] To become a working man
[02:15.62]
[02:16.28] Is to live and work with them
[02:18.28]
[02:19.55] This is something you can't pretend
[02:22.67]
[02:24.27] So he continues to insist that he's no champagne socialist
[02:29.58]
[02:50.53] (That he's no champagne socialist)
